TI-36X Pro—Replace the batteries or just get a new one?

Isn’t the TI-30X Pro MultiView a lower model, missing several features and lacking the functionality of the TI-36X Pro? Just like the HP-32E is a higher model than the HP-31E, isn’t the TI-30X Pro MultiView a downgrade of the TI-36X Pro?

No, it's just a different name for the same thing. If you compare the PDFs TI-30X Pro MultiView Guidebook (English) and TI-36X Pro Guidebook (English) you will see no differences in functionality, although the person who got the job of converting the TI-36X Pro English manual for the TI-30X Pro MultiView managed to screw up the special characters in a few places.

I don't know why they changed the name for the European market.

When (if?) the new TI-30X Pro MathPrint model makes it to the North American market, I expect they will rename it (perhaps to TI-36X Pro MathPrint?).

EDIT: You might have been thinking of the TI-30X Plus MultiView. Apparently, someone figured out that you could access the Pro functions on that calculator by pressing several keys at once!

Note that the new MathPrint models also come in Plus and Pro variants.

EDIT 2: The TI-30X Plus MultiView was a special version of the TI-30X Pro MultiView for use in German and Austrian schools with certain "banned" features removed (until someone figured out how to re-enable them!).
